It Frequently Happens
that you who make individual loans are bothered in the
collection of interest; that you often haAe difficulty in
getting back the principal, and sometimes lose it alto
gether: If you collect your interest, you do not get it
more than once or twice a year.
If you deposit your money in the Savings depart
ment of this bank, you are not thus annoyed or kept so
long out of your interest, for we pay you 4 per cent,
interest every three months; January 1st, April 1st,
July 1st, October 1st. and better still you have the sat
isfaction of feeling that your money is at all times safe
and that the bank is prepared to pay back the principal
when needed.

a little bad season to go into Livery, there is money to be
made even during January and February, and this oppor
tunity to buy a good well established business does not pre
sent itself often.
THF OUTFIT fiOMPIFTF wil1 inventory about two
MIL UUIIII vUlTir LL I L thousand dollars, but in or
der to close out at once will keep a pair of horses, buggy,
etc., enough to cut the stock down to fifteen hundred dol
lars and rent the stable building at reasonable rent and
turn over immediately.
I eave been in business here for nearly six years and
it has been a decided success, a proof of which is, I have
done more business than any Liveryman in Randolph
county; have done more livery in the last six months than
any six months previous, and at all times I get a , majority
of the best Livery that's done in town.
I mean business and will sell on credit of three, six,
and nine months, with uotes well secured. For further
particulars apply to
